Centre for Research on Globalisation Massive pre-attack 'insider trading' offer authorities hottest trail to accomplices by Kyle F. Hence Centre for Research on Globalisation (CRG), globalresearch.ca , 21 April 2002 CRG's Global Outlook premiere issue on " Stop the War" provides detailed documentation on the war and September 11 Order/subscribe. Consult Table of Contents Part II Billions in Pre-911 Insider Trading Profits Leaves a Hot Trail: How Bush Administration Naysayers May Have Let it go Cold Part I of Making a Killing provided a glimpse of a shadowy, legitimized global financial network that is employed by criminals of all kinds to carry out or manage the profits from all manner of nefarious activity. It documented how the Bush Administration in 2001 undermined, stalled and withdrew from a global effort to clamp down on money laundering. We learned the indirect connection Enron had to intense lobbying efforts which ultimately swayed the Administration. And how following the attacks of 9-11, Bush changed his tune and working with allies in the war on terrorism, seized over $100 million linked to Al Qeada and other terrorist groups. Unfortunately, this is likely the tip of the iceberg of drug and terror money that is managed by the highest echelons of double-breasted gucci suited criminals. In Part II, we will examine closely what is likely the largest, most globalized and heinous case of insider trading in economic history and how it offered authorities a hot money trail to follow. If successful in tracking the perpetrators, authorities would not only be successful in implicating obvious accomplices in the 9-11 attacks, but also would be able to strike deeply into the infrastructure of a shadow financial network and hundreds of billions of dollars that flow through it.

Freedom works. R21 Home Page FREE Subscription to R21 Search R21 April 27, 2004 Should "insider trading" be a crime? Insider trading is not the evil that many presume it to me. Thomas Sowell addresses the problem with criminalizing insider trading as well as other atempts at criminalizing the unfairness of life. Excerpt: Politicians are forever coming up with ''solutions'' to virtually every imaginable imperfection in life. But, if we give them more power and more of our money, we are very unlikely to end up better off on net balance. The history of 20th century despotism is a history of leaders claiming to solve their people's problems for them - and then creating tragedies worse than any of the problems that they were supposedly going to solve. Eternal vigilance is only part of the price of freedom. The maturity to live with imperfections is another crucial part of the price of freedom. ... The political left has increasingly vented its hostility to business by creating criminal statutes for things that do not do nearly as much harm as the activities of the career criminals whom liberals are so willing to excuse or to let off with light or suspended sentences. Liberals like to equate crime in the streets with ''crime in the suites.'' But nobody is afraid to go out at night in their own neighborhood for fear that Martha Stewart will sell them some stock. The verbal parallels of the left have little to do with the realities of life.

24. A Victimless Crime? If insider trading is largely a victimless crime requiring no special laws against it, then what should be done in a few cases where there are identifiable http://www.ccsindia.org/people_pjs_victim.htm

A Victimless crime? Parth J. Shah The Economic Times April 18, 2002 The best way to manage insider trading is by making it a private, civil offence and not by raising it to a public, criminal offence, says Parth J Shah Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is again set to tighten the law against insider trading. The law was first passed in 1992 and amended very recently in February 2002. As the amendment is more than ten times longer than the original law, one would have thought that SEBI must have plugged all the loop holes. But one would be wrong; a lot more work is apparently required to banish insider trading from the Indian securities market. The aim of insider-trading laws is to assure that no one would gain by trading on "insider" or "unpublished" information—information that is not available to all market participants. The ultimate goal is equal information to all market participants. The proponents see any inequality of information as unfair. Those who are more philosophically inclined would immediately see the parallels between the goals of the equality of information and the equality of opportunity. As history has demonstrated, even a totalitarian state is unable to achieve perfect equality of opportunity. What kind of draconian state would be required to implement equality of information?

28. The Fraud Of Insider-Trading Law, Part 2 But what about the claim that insider trading erodes confidence in the market? Even if that were true, it would not turn the act into a crime. http://www.fff.org/freedom/fd0310b.asp

Send to a friend Printer Friendly PDF Format Subscribe to FFF Email Update Subscribe to ... Freedom Daily The Fraud of Insider-Trading Law, Part 2 by Sheldon Richman October 2003 [Posted January 14, 2004] Part 1 It is virtually unquestioned in America today that insider trading in the securities markets is a dastardly act. We must make a distinction here between trading by insiders and trading by insiders on the basis of nonpublic information. Insiders are legally allowed to buy and sell stocks. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires insiders to disclose their trades, and the financial newspapers report such trading. Investors find this information a source of valuable clues about companies. (It is possible that even without the SEC requirement, shareholders would require their executives and directors to declare their trades.) un Those who seek to stamp out insider trading concede this point, so they object only when the knowledge is unavailable to the public. But the line between prohibited inside knowledge and permissible inside knowledge is far from clear. As law professor Daniel Fischel writes in Payback

29. The Fraud Of Insider-Trading Law, Part 1 Martha Stewart with insider trading, the US Justice Department declined to indict the wellknown queen of domesticity for that “crime.” In other words http://www.fff.org/freedom/fd0309c.asp

Send to a friend Printer Friendly PDF Format Subscribe to FFF Email Update Subscribe to ... Freedom Daily The Fraud of Insider-Trading Law, Part 1 by Sheldon Richman September 2003 (POSTED NOVEMBER 5, 2003) Part 2 This article was originally intended as a discussion of the Martha Stewart case. But instead it will be a discussion of insider trading. If the U.S. attorney declined to seek an indictment for insider trading, what, then, is in the five-count bill against her? (The media widely report that the bill contained nine counts. Wrong. The government issued a single bill against her and her former Merrill Lynch broker, Peter Bacanovic. The combined charges total nine.) We have to examine insider trading to understand the case, for without such a concept, there is no case. Henry Manne, dean emeritus of George Mason University Law School, is the authority on this sorry idea of law. (In 1966 he published Insider Trading and the Stock Market .) Manne points out that insider trading was not illegal until the 1960s. Many people think it goes back to the Great Depression and the New Deal, when the SEC was created. But as Manne notes, insider trading could not have been much of an issue during the stock-market crash. If it had been, many insiders would have avoided the disaster. Then why did it become an issue 30 years later? As Manne told syndicated columnist Larry Elder

30. New York Daily News - Home - Crime's Not Fit For Prime Time The Daily News asked Shargel, an expert on whitecollar crime who also a furtive tip to sell her ImClone stock, Stewart is not charged with insider trading. http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/162335p-142346c.html

Current Archive Crime's not fit for prime time By GERALD SHARGEL SPECIAL TO THE NEWS Martha Stewart Gerald Shargel, a criminial defense lawyer for 34 years, has represented John Gotti and a who's who of celebrity defendants. The Daily News asked Shargel, an expert on white-collar crime who also teaches at Brooklyn Law School, to take a look at the Martha Stewart trial and offer his insights. It's awards season, and there already are many nominees for trial of this young century. With the Michael Jackson, Kobe Bryant and Scott Peterson cases waiting in the wings, the field certainly is crowded. But the inside track belongs to Martha Stewart. After all, the case has the trappings of greatness. A genuine celebrity being tried in a majestic federal courtroom; an imperious judge keeping a tight grip on the proceedings; colorful lawyers arguing with fierce determination; massive media attention. The only thing missing - an omission certain to doom its chances - is a criminal charge worthy of all this attention. What exactly is Stewart accused of? The stock fraud claim is highly suspect. She didn't "cook" any books; she sold no worthless stock. By now everyone knows that despite the claim that Douglas Faneuil gave her a furtive tip to sell her ImClone stock, Stewart is not charged with insider trading.

31. Making Economic Sense A major difference between the crime of insider trading and the other crimes is that insider trading is a crime with no victims. http://www.mises.org/econsense/ch50.asp

Wednesday, June 09, 2004 Making Economic Sense Chapter 50 Panic on Wall Street There is a veritable Reign of Terror rampant in the United Statesand everyone's cheering. "They should lock those guys up and throw away the key. Nothing is bad enough for them," says the man-in-the-street. Distinguished men are literally being dragged from their plush offices in manacles. Indictments are being handed down en masse, and punishments, including jail terms, are severe. The most notorious of these men (a) was forced to wire up and inform on his colleagues; (b) was fined $100 million; (c) was barred from his occupation for life; and (d) faces a possibility of five years in prison. The press, almost to a man, deplored the excessive lightness of this treatment. Who are these vicious criminals? Mass murderers? Rapists? Soviet spies? Terrorists bombing restaurants or kidnaping innocent people? No, far worse than these, apparently. These dangerous, sinister men have committed the high crime of "insider trading." As one knowledgeable lawyer explained to the New York Times: "Put yourself in the role of a young investment banker who sees one of your mentors led away by Federal marshals. It will have a very powerful effect on you and perhaps make you realize that insider trading is just as serious as armed robbery as far as the government is concerned."

32. The Attack On Martha The issue of insider trading seems to be straightforward, but it is not. in the securities markets, one cannot be sure if one is committing a crime or not. http://www.mises.org/fullarticle.asp?control=989&id=68

33. Free Martha Stewart! By Harry Browne Zero Sum Games. Although you d never know it from watching the TV news or listening to the politicians, insider trading is a victimless crime. http://www.harrybrowne.org/articles/MarthaStewart.htm

Free Martha Stewart by Harry Browne June 4, 2003 Being against insider trading is like being against sin or being for apple pie. No decent, God-fearing, patriotic American wants to see insiders take advantage of honest investors. Unfortunately, apple isn't one of my favorite pies, and I'm not even sure I'm against sin. So I can't seem to get myself worked up about insider trading. Railing against insider trading is consistent with the great American philosophy: "If you don't get what you want, sue somebody." Whatever happens, don't take responsibility for your own life. Investors shouldn't have to think for themselves, and they shouldn't have to feel responsible for their investment losses. There are evil people out there who took advantage of them. The Old Level Playing Field The insider scandals have raised again the concept of the "level playing field." We're all supposed to compete on the level playing field of life in which, I suppose, no one has the advantage of being able to run downhill. I guess this means that all financiers will have to go to the same school of business, and all doctors will have to go to the same medical school

By Brian Doherty Embattled homemaking queen Martha Stewart is now contemplating the wisdom of that Washington proverb: The coverup can be worse than the crime. A House committee has asked the Justice Department to launch a criminal investigation into whether Stewart lied to it during its months-long inquisition into her sale of nearly 4,000 shares of ImClone stock. So intent is the government on getting Stewart that, according to recent news reports, it has cut a plea agreement with an assistant at Merrill Lynch, which handled Stewart's stock sale, in exchange for his testimony against her. Even if Stewart, whose Ms. Perfect persona rubs many the wrong way, never faces criminal prosecution, she has already lost plenty. Her company's value has plummeted, and there's talk she may be replaced as chief executive. Strangely, those obsessed with Stewart's alleged crime ignore the enormous damage to Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia stockholders caused by the government's pillorying of her.

35. Attorney Mahoney Commentary On The Martha Stewart Case defense, the US Attorney’s Office was able to con the jury into believing that Stewart and Bacanovic had committed the uncharged crime of insider trading. http://www.relentlessdefense.com/tips/casesinnews/stewart.case.html

26 May 2004- 2 April 2004- Basically, Stewart was convicted for covering up a crime she didn't commit. Commentary on current high profile cases by Kevin J. Mahoney, Attorney at Law, a Boston-area Criminal Defense Attorney. Kobe Bryant Case Jayson Williams Case Lacy Peterson Case Prosecution Short ... on Evidence (June '04) "In the Martha Stewart trial, there was no more important witness for the prosecution than Larry Stewart. His expert testimony … would hang Ms. Stewart and Bacanovic. With the world wide coverage of the trial, the prestige of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Manhattan hung in the balance." "The Assistants very likely put Mr. Stewart through countless, grueling mock cross-examinationsrechecking his basis for every finding, statement, and contention. There is simply no way that these Assistants were caught unaware." "Shame on the U.S. Attorney’s Office for taking the position that Mr. Stewart’s perjury was serious enough to warrant indictment, but not serious enough undercut the convictions of Ms. Stewart and Bacanovic." "...the U.S. Attorney’s Office was able to con the jury into believing that Stewart and Bacanovic had committed the uncharged crime of insider trading."

37. Www.marthatalks.com Even though the federal government s indictment does not charge Stewart with the underlying insidertrading crime for which she was originally investigated, it http://www.marthatalks.com/voices/copley_060903.html

Other Voices Congress should rein in rogue federal prosecutors by Jack Kemp June 09, 2003 Using a little-known federal statute (Title 18, Section 1001 of the U.S. Code), federal prosecutors are threatening to send Martha Stewart to jail for lying to government officials and for publicly declaring her innocence of insider trading even though the government refuses to charge her with the actual crime of insider trading. That's outrageous. Today, the federal government regulates virtually every facet of our lives, and consequently there is hardly a crime conceivable that cannot be swept up in a federal indictment. This includes securities regulations that are so broad and vague that a determined federal prosecutor can literally convict you of making "misleading public statements." This is precisely what federal prosecutors are attempting to do to Stewart. So much for the First Amendment. Everyone has the right to remain silent when questioned by the police. If police fail to read you your Miranda rights, the courts must exclude from evidence against you statements you made to the police, even a confession.

Other Voices A show trial American-style National Post George Jonas February 2, 2004 There's a show trial going on in Manhattan, though most journalists fail to notice it. That is, they notice Martha Stewart's trial all right it's receiving wall-to-wall coverage but they fail to grasp that the news isn't Ms. Stewart's Hermes Birkin handbag. The news is that hers is a show trial, in the tradition of the show trials staged by Stalin's prosecutors in the 1930s. The parallel isn't perfect, for Manhattan isn't Moscow, nor is the New York district attorney's office a replica of purge-trial prosecutor A.Y. Vyshinsky's domain. But while the differences are self-evident the Manhattan verdict isn't foreordained, for one thing, and the lifestyle diva doesn't face execution the proceedings are eerily close in spirit. One might call it a show trial, American-style, or perhaps a show trial with a human face. Here are the undisputed facts. In December, 2001, Ms. Stewart sold her 3,928 ImClone shares through the brokerage house of her stockbroker, Peter Bacanovic. The sale, at US$58 per share, occurred one day before the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) rejected a cancer drug, called Erbitux, manufactured by ImClone. Naturally, this depressed the company's stock. Selling in the nick of time saved Ms. Stewart about US$50,000, roughly .1% of her net worth.

40. Deterring Corporate Crime- ReclaimDemocracy.org message. The change in Wall Street s attitude toward insider trading shows that it is possible to change mindsets about white-collar crime, legal experts say http://reclaimdemocracy.org/articles_2004/deterring_corporate_crime.html

Home About Us Campaigns Primers ... Donate Are We Deterring Corporate Crime? Print-friendly Page By Alex Berenson Published by the New York Times, March 8, 2004 No one of the jurors in the Martha Stewart trial, the guilty verdict reached on Friday "sends a message to bigwigs in corporations," said Chappell Hartridge of the Bronx. "They have to abide by the law. No one is above the law." In the last two years, prosecutors and juries have repeatedly sent corporate America the message that white-collar crime is a crime after all, starting with the prosecution of the accounting firm Arthur Andersen, which resulted in its conviction and demise in 2002. Since then, dozens of executives at Enron, Tyco International and other big public companies have been charged with fraud, obstruction of justice and other crimes. Many have pleaded guilty; others are being tried or awaiting trial. Now the prosecutions may have reached a critical mass that will make executives think twice before lying to shareholders and federal officials, experts on white-collar crime say.
